The Ultimate In-Flight Sleep Accessories

Sleep is one of the great luxuries of life. And while travel is one of the great luxuries, too – sleep and travel don’t make the best of bedfellows, especially when you’re flying. Even when your first-class seat majestically unfurls into a cotton-clad cot, or your relaxant tea is crushed from the finest chamomile, the luxury of in-flight sleep rarely runs as smooth as silk.

The more you fight it though, the more you lose it. So… don’t fight it. Instead, rise above it. And rise above it in unimaginably luxurious ways, with your head way up in the clouds. Here we bring you the most extravagant, deluxe – and practical – in-flight sleep accessories money can buy.
